Delhi Air Quality Forecasts – Hourly Averages

Air pollution has emerged as a major challenge in Delhi and the problem becomes more complex due to multiplicity and complexity of the mix of emission sources, such as, industries, automobiles, generator sets, domestic fuel burning, road side dusts, construction activities, etc. To support Delhi’s air pollution management framework, modeled hourly average ambient concentrations for the next 72 hours were simulated using meteorology processed through 3D-WRF meteorological model and the GFS meteorological fields and the concentrations simuated through the CAMx chemical transport modeling system.
